<p>If you want a single outline, you'll have to generate all the floor plates using a single MetaBall component.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There's two basic approaches; building-as-a-whole or one-floor-at-a-time. I attached files for each.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The building as a whole is closest to your current approach, all the points are taken into account for every floor, meaning there's quite a lot of bulging going on. The other approach only generates exactly the points that intersect with each floor.</p>
